Show humility and appreciation: Serve the shrimp rolls yourself.
Challenge your employees to meet an impossible goal, then acknowledge the accomplishment.
Ask your top-level leaders to call and congratulate your employees.
Don'ts
Pool your award money and dole it out by lottery - that's illegal.
Wait until the end of the year to give awards - they lose meaning.
Give a tiny cash award for a big savings. It's better to just say thanks.
Reward an employee without justification - everyone can spot a fake.
Give a Home Depot gift card to an apartment dweller - know your employees.
